Sainkho Namtchylak (Tuva)
nominated by:
Richard Dorrell, Norwich:
'Sainkho probably won't come close to winning this, but she deserves to be represented. Six years ago, she was attacked by a white Russian who disapproved of Tuvan culture and was nearly killed, yet she had the strength and conviction to continue her work promoting Tuvan shamanic music, bringing it to new heights with a water-wild range of intonation. Such courage should be recognised.'
Elaine Erb, USA :
'Too few artists make me really stand up and take notice anymore. Sainkho has delivered a compelling, intriguing, and exciting new release that defies any rules of music but clearly follows her muse.'
